Friends of Charleston
The Friends make an invaluable contribution to Charleston; as an independent charity receiving no government funding the Friends provide much-needed financial support for the Trust. At the same time, through volunteering, attending events and engaging with the life of Charleston, our Friends help to perpetuate the extraordinary spirit of creativity and imagination of the Bloomsbury group.
Join the Friends and enjoy:
- Free entry to Charleston House and garden
- Priority booking for the Charleston Festival and all Charleston events
- Canvas: the tri-annual Charleston newsletter
- Regular mailings with news from Charleston and notice of Bloomsbury events further afield
- Invitations to exhibition private views at the Charleston Gallery
- A special Christmas shopping event
Life Friends also enjoy:
- Free entry to Charleston for you and three guests
- Exclusive tours of the house by appointment
- A free copy of the Charleston Book, signed by the author
